Sakai 2.5.0 Release Process Notes

The Release Process in Sakai 2.5.0 was done from the branch https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/tags/sakai_2-5-0_RC_04a where there is a shell script that runs the release process.
This uses a modified pack-demo/pom.xml that generates the pack-bin targets as well as the pack-demo targets.

The script also generates
maven repositrory with soruces, binary, test sources
javadoc
taglibdoc
source tarball

The script performs the following steps

clean out previous builds
clean out target, m2-target, bin
clean out /tmp/maven2

replacing the M2 version with the release version in
all pom.xml 
all .classpath
all runconversion.sh

tar up the source


perform the following sequence 
in master mvn install
mvn -Ppack-demo install -Dkeystore=${location}/Sakai.keystore -Dalias=sakai -Dstorepass=${KEYSTOREPASS}
mvn install source:jar source:test-jar deploy -Dkeystore=${location}/Sakai.keystore -Dalias=sakai -Dstorepass=${KEYSTOREPASS}
mvn javadoc:javadoc
mvn -Ptaglib taglib:taglibdocjar deploy

where ${KEYSTOREPASS} is the keysotre password and Sakai.keystore contains the certificates.

then package up
the maven repo in /tmp/maven2
the javadoc
the sakai-demo and sakai-bin artifacts
the taglibsdocs
